Online Support
In our experience, it can be helpful to find a safe space (or more than one) if you are trying to heal from addiction. Keep in mind: the term “safe spaces” has different meanings for different people. You decide what feels safe for you.
Below are some of our suggestions for online communities that may feel safer and more helpful if you are taking MOUD.
